This is an easy to sew fabric doll clothes or accessory case. The finished dimensions of the cases in the photos are 11 inches (27.5cm) long and 8 inches (20cm) wide. But you could make any size to suit the doll’s wardrobe needs.
You’ll need 2 pieces of material, each 36 inches (90cm) long by 9 inches (22.5cm) wide. And, an 18 inch (45cm) length of ribbon for the closure.
To sew
Align your two pieces of material, right sides together and stitch around the outside border with half inch (1.25cm) seam allowance leaving a space open.
Clip seams at corners, then turn right side out, blind stitch opening and press.
To form the finished case, fold the length into thirds as in the photos.
Blind stitch together the sides of the back with the folded over section that will hold the clothes.
The final open section is laid over the top - think how a purse is. Cut the length of ribbon in half and blind stitch each ribbon to the case as in photos.
Voila! You have a soft and washable case to keep those precious doll clothes or accessories safe!
